No bake cookies are a great invention! lil bit of mixing, little bit of setting.. then BOOM! eat! Lemon bars n all that stuff are gooood. I'm not a fan of the no-bake cheesecakes though. They just always taste off.

You make cookies sound like epoxy.

Mmmm. Epoxy lol.

Our local quiznos was doing a "Customer appreciation" thing yesterday. So long as ya bought a drink, small subs were $0.99 and regular subs were $1.99. I expected the list to be limited to whatever their cheapest subs were, but it applied to the entire menu. Bacon probably wasn't the best post-workout choice, buttttt its delicious, dammit lolGonna make a trip to the store n pick up ingreds for some beer-cheese soup when i get paid tomorrow. :). Really not all THAT expensive to make, but the trips to Portland for surgery wiped my bank account clean.

Blood in food is pretty tasty, I have to say. As long as I don't think of it as blood I can eat it. Korean blood sausage is hella good, too. It comes with a salt/red pepper dip. Damn, I'm getting a craving.

You know gravy is composed of mostly blood, a lot of people don't realize this. And I LOVE gravy!

Did not know gravy is composed of blood and blood sausages is pretty darn good. Although, the diniguan with rice picture doesnt look tasty. if it taste and smell as good as you say I think I can overcome the blood part.

I have really been craving thai food the last couple days. I'd go tonight but i gotta hit the gym, and the one place in town will be closed by the time I'm done :(. I suppose i can wait til tomorrow. The gf's gotta work all day, so it'll be a nice treat for when she gets home.

It worked out for me! When i got home from the gym, Aly was in the process of makin stuffed squash for dinner for us :). Loaded with nutrients and had chicken for protein... awesome post-workout meal :)

Not sure what you're asking here, Wood. The grocery stores will have seasoning packets that allow you to make a variety of things by just adding water & meat.You could get a pork loin and fill the rest with BBQ sauce. Simple, but pulled pork sammies are delish!

I love making chili in my crockpot- esp when it gets cold. Look up 'ricks slowcooker chili' recipe. It gives you a great base recipe to go off of, then you can adjust/modefy to your preferences. I like chili with a good deal of serrano peppers to give it some heat.

*edit- found the recipe:

2 pounds ground round, browned and drained

2 cans kidney beans (15 ounces each) , canned, drained

2 cans (14.5 ounces each) whole tomatoes, drained and chopped

4 tablespoons chili powder

1 clove garlic, minced

1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin powder

2 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon pepper

1/2 teaspoon tabasco sauce

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 large onion, coarsely chopped

6 ounces black olives, pitted and drained

1/2 cup water

Preparation:

Brown and drain ground round in skillet.

Combine all ingredients in slow cooker and mix thoroughly.

Cook on low for 8 to 10 hours.

Rick's Note: Goes well with grated Sharp Cheddar Cheese sprinkled on top.Can be frozen and then reheated in a sauce pan later in the week for quick dinners.

just had some bomb diggety sushi from a new place that opened by me, its called four leaves asian restaurant. a lot of food for 12 bucks. it wasn't on Surin of Thialand level but it was good sushi none the less.

Forgot to post about this a few minutes ago.. Aly and I went to the Thai joint in town Saturday after she got off work. We saw a "Now open!" sign hanging from the building and thought "wow, they really need to take that down". Upon further reading, we noticed the place has changed names and is now under different ownership. The menu/staff is completely different, which is cool, cuz it offers a few new options i'd like to try, but I'll admit i was a TAD bummed that they didn't have the mango-fried rice that i was really looking forward to ordering!Ended up getting a seafood medley kind of dish that offered a variety of spiciness options (the previous limitations were from 1-5 with 5 being "thai spicy", but despite always ordering 5, i got "white person spicy"). The new place goes from 1-10, where 5 is still rated as "Thai spicy." Being as it was a new menu, and spiciness can vary greatly by interpretation, i went for a 4 (why not give myself some room to grow? lol).. And it carried a solid amount of heat! I'll get the 5 next time, but the 4 was still considerably spicier than the 5 was before... WIN!

LOL way to break that one down solo :)) . Yeah, that's pretty much the case though. sautee some mangos with the rest of the ingredients and ya got a good start! I just really enjoyed the sweetness of the mangos melding with the flavors of the fried rice. so goooood.

I got a breadsticks from Papa Murphies and I added 2 more pounds of cheddar onto it before baking. SO MUCH BETTER. You guys should definitely give it a try.

Mmmm, constipation!

I was looking forward to having some chicken-chili nachos for dinner last night (pretty much just throwing some chicken chili, olives and cheese on some tortilla chips and bakin em for a bit), but one of my surgery drain tubes came out last night, and the other is hanging on only by a single stitch. Because of the soft tissue in the area and the likelihood that i could damage the tissue, I fear I'm relegated to a mostly soft-food diet til i get it fixed :(
